557-2010 RDA Reso RESOLUTION NO. 574 -2010
A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR
THE YEAR 2011 RDA MEETINGS.
WHEREAS, at the January 12, 2005 Committee of the Whole Meeting, Mayor Dermer
(acting also as the Chairman of the RDA) solicited input regarding the scheduling of one RDA
meeting a month; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to Mayor Dermer's request, this issue was referred to the
Neighborhood /Community Affairs Committee for discussion; and
WHEREAS, the Neighborhood /Community Affairs Committee met on March 29, 2005, and
was presented with the idea of having one RDA meeting a month and an alternate meeting
scheduled the following week; and
WHEREAS, this would allow the RDA to continue the meeting because of the lateness of the
hour or if a particular item(s) may cause the meeting to run very late, to continue the item(s) not
handled to the following Wednesday; and
WHEREAS, because the same RDA agenda will be used, no Member /Executive Director
Agenda reviews will be required; and
WHEREAS, it also allows the Chairman and the Members of the RDA, and the
Administration, to reserve the Wednesday following a RDA meeting so that scheduling of a
continued meeting, if necessary, does not result in scheduling problems; and
WHEREAS, this new schedule of one RDA meeting a month and an alternate meeting was
implemented in May 2005; and
WHEREAS, in preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3)
goals: 1) schedule one (1) RDA meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2) schedule RDA
meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of August, while
the RDA is in recess; and
WHEREAS, the proposed 2011 calendar calls for eleven (10) regularly scheduled RDA
meetings, nine (8) alternate meetings; 2 election related meetings, and an additional special budget
RDA meeting will be scheduled at a later time in September.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CHAIRMAN AND THE MEMBERS

In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1)
schedule one (1) RDA meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2) schedule RDA
meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of
August, while the RDA is in recess.
